Your #32 observation deserves a separate thread. It isn't spin, but verifiable fact.

I once posted a John Edwards speech highlighting the word power which he used so often. One of his friends was peeved at me. The truth hurts.

I will run both the blubba speech and W's speech in Atlanta through Word's search feature and count the number of times each of the "I, me, my" words is used and post it on a separate thread - can't do it tonight, but probably can tomorrow.

It is pretty appalling.

For the record, I noted some readers didn't catch my not very prominent note that W's use of the personal pronouns, as with blubba's, covered only the first ten paragraphs, not the entire speech.
